Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Arizona?News flash: Nobody outside of Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota and pockets of New England gives a rats ass about college hockey.
Michigan yes, OSU and Indiana nope. I was at the OSU Minn Friday night game at the Schott this year, very disappointed with turnout. And that’s even with the upper level curtained off. If it wasn’t for the redcoats making you sit in your section , we could have sat just about anywhere and not get asked to move. At the time I think Minn was 3rd in the country and OSU 11th. Northern Ohio is semi goofy about hockey but most are Michigan hockey fans. We sell our ECHL barn out just about every game, something like 70 straight right now in Toledo.Michigan, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Arizona?
